Sorry to say Nick has some big name silent commits, Nico, Tanna, and Dre are three of them. You are correct about Nico, he is an awesome player.

I mean don't get me wrong that Alabama's business school is rated higher in most publications but from experience, I don't wanna hire kids from there cause it takes them longer to get a hold of what is going on in an accounting firm. Auburn's kids hit the ground running while Alabama's are held back and on the short bus.

I don't get why it is so important to Auburn people to try and prove the whole bandwagon issue. Bama and Auburn have the same amount of students. State schools (ala LSU) typically claim most of the fans in the state. Also, in Alabama, it is pretty much understood that the more redneck people go to Auburn (students live in trailers) and 'old money' goes to Bama. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Also, Bama's business school puts Auburn's to shame. Auburn has a killer agricultural program; I'm not sure Bama has one. Auburn has a great veterinary program. Bama has a law school; Auburn does not (I think). Point is that Auburn fans try to portray Bama in the light that Auburn is actually defined by. Is that insecurity or what?

And I am allowed to say bandwagon cause majority of Alabama fans never went to the school or have even seen it before. They are called Gumps. Majority of Auburn fans are graduates and are successful doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. Gumps drive Golden Flake trucks, work at the steel plant, work in construction, etc.


Gumps drive Golden Flake trucks.....tru dat!

Yeah but Doctors and Lawyers kids grow up to be Doctors and Lawyers. Gumps, Red Necks, Golden Flake drivers, and Steel Workers kids grow up to be football players. It is still a losing proposition for the War Hawks.

My question is why pretty much all of Alabama's top players have been going to Bama the last few years and not more to Auburn. All Auburn does is beat Bama every year


Tubbs never seems to pull a top 5-type class, but he must be outstanding at identifying below-the-radar players and then developing them. Just guessing, but I'm betting AU puts as many or more kids in the pros as the schools with consistently higher rated recruits.

Do wish Tubbs would start taking his share of top-rated AL recruits, just to slow Saban down.
